About us
Welcome to our Interactive Coding Group!
This is a community built around learning by doing. Each of our events focuses on a specific topic or cool application -- from algorithms and data structures to web development, git, mathematical optimization, robotics, etc. -- which we explore through hands-on coding sessions. Instead of just talking about concepts, we dive in and build things together to truly understand how they work.
Our main programming language is Python, but we're also open to exploring Lisp dialects like Racket and Emacs Lisp, as well as Scala, C++, or any other language that sparks curiosity!
Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, you're welcome. Beginners can learn in a supportive environment, and experienced members are encouraged to share their knowledge and help others grow. Each session combines collaborative exploration with short, focused presentations.
Ideas for topics, projects, or presentations are always welcome — this is your space to experiment and contribute. Our official languages are English and French, so feel free to participate in either (or why not both!).
Bring your laptop and join us — let’s learn and build together, one project at a time!
Events are free-of-charge.

SICP exercises
Manabiya office, 3 Rue des Pins, Grenoble, FRThe SICP book teaches the fundamental principles of programming and computational thinking. It helps us develop deep understanding of how programs work beyond just writing code.
This is a study group where we gather (mostly once a week) and discuss any questions we have related to the book and its exercises.
There is no predefined schedule for which exercises to work on -- everyone progresses at their own pace and can use whichever programming language they prefer. Personally I will use Racket.
We have a 2-hour time slot for our sessions, but feel free to join for as long as it’s convenient for you.
Location:
Events would be held at 3 Rue des Pins, Grenoble (5th floor of Arc en Ciel building 3). Office of Manabiya.
Access:
It is at a few minutes walking distance from Grand place. The closest bus stop is Raymond Chanas (lines C6 and C8).

Seminar: the pseudoinverse of a matrix
Manabiya office, 3 Rue des Pins, Grenoble, FRThis seminar explores the pseudoinverse of a matrix, offering a high-level overview of its meaning and discussing its applications. We will approach the topic from the perspective of lexicographic optimization, which will help build intuition and define potential generalizations of the concept.
Format:
A 15-20 minute presentation (in English) followed by a discussion (English/French). Bring your computer if you want to test ideas afterwards.
Who should attend:
You will benefit most if you have prior exposure to basic concepts of optimization and linear algebra, but this is not a prerequisite. We will stay high-level so curiosity is all you need.
